operated about 15 minutes.
If further defrosting or defogging is desired, simply actuate the
switch again. When the
surface has cleared, push the switch
once again to turn the defogger of f. Continuous use may cause
the battery to discharge, especially during stop −and−go

CAUTION
Occupants must use caution when operating the seat

at low temperatures. Use extra caution for;
Babies, small children, elderly persons, sick persons
or persons with physical disabilities
 Persons who have sensitive skin
 Persons who are exhausted
 Persons who have taken alcohol or drugs which
induce sleep (sleeping drug, cold remedy, etc.)
To prevent the seat from overheating, do not use the

objects which cover the seat.
NOTICE
 Do not put unevenly weighted objects on the seat and
do not stick sharp objects (needles, nails, etc.) into

the switches off when the engine is not running.

STEERING WHEEL AND MIRRORS
203
Automatic tiltaway steering column*
When the ignition key is removed, the steering column
moves forward away from the driver and also tilts up for
easy exit and entry.
When the key is inserted in the ignition switch, the steering
column returns to the previously set position.NOTE:
* This feature can be deactivated.
Ask your Lexus dealer for details.
OUTSIDE REAR VIEW MIRRORS
Adjust the mirror so that you can just see the side of your
vehicle in the mirror.
Be careful when judging the size or distance of any object seen
in the outside rear view mirror on the passenger’s side
because it is a convex mirror. Any object seen in a convex
mirror will look smaller and farther away than if seen in a normal
flat mirror.
When you push the outside rear view mirror defogger switch,
the heater panels in the outside rear view mirrors will quickly
clear the mirror surface. (See “Outside rear view mirror
defogger switch” on page 39.)
The rear view mirrors are rain clearing mirrors that clear the
driver’s rear view when it rains. (For details, see “Rain clearing
mirrors” on page 572.)

AIR CONDITIONING
226
The air conditioning filter is behind the glove box.
The air conditioning filter may clog after long use. The filter
may need to be replaced if the air flow of the air conditioner and
heater experiences extreme reductions in operating ef ficiency,
or if the windows begin to fog up easily.
To maintain the air conditioning efficiency, inspect and replace
the air conditioning filter according to the maintenance
schedule. In dusty areas or areas with heavy traffic flow, such
as inner city or desert areas, early replacement may be
required. (For scheduled maintenance information, please
refer to the “Owner’s Manual Supplement/Scheduled
Maintenance”.)1. Open the glove box and unhook the cip as shown
above.
2. Push in each side of the glove box to disconnect the
claws.
